Bmi Usa 10480 Black Steel Pipe Nipple 30 in

Product Description

The BMI USA 10480 is a black steel ready-cut pipe nipple measuring 30 inches in length. It is a threaded pipe segment used in gas, plumbing, and industrial piping systems where a fixed-length connection is required between fittings or equipment. The black finish results from a hot-applied coating that provides a base level of corrosion resistance suitable for dry or protected environments. Licensed plumbers and pipefitters typically install this nipple in residential and light commercial applications including gas supply lines, compressed air runs, and general fluid transfer systems.

This pipe nipple is well suited for both new construction and retrofit work where a 30-inch threaded steel section is needed. It fits standard applications such as gas appliance connections, boiler piping, and mechanical room distribution headers. The ready-cut designation means both ends arrive threaded from the factory, eliminating field threading and reducing installation time on the jobsite.

Key Features

• 30-inch fixed length eliminates field cutting and threading
• Black steel construction suitable for gas and general-purpose piping
• Factory-threaded both ends for direct connection to fittings or valves
• Ready-cut design speeds installation in new and retrofit piping runs

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard component for black steel threaded piping systems using schedule-standard pipe fittings in residential and light commercial installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed plumber or pipefitter in accordance with the International Fuel Gas Code or International Plumbing Code as applicable. Shut off the gas or fluid supply and relieve system pressure before threading any connections. Apply an appropriate thread sealant or PTFE tape rated for the intended service to all threaded joints before makeup. Do not over-tighten threaded connections on steel pipe, as this can damage threads or fitting bodies.
